A perfect square trinomial always has middle term = twice the root of the last term when the x^2 has a coefficient of 1. The last term must be positive. The sign of the middle term is the sign between the terms.
This is your case here, so this is a PST, and the answer is (x - 5)^2

x^2 - 10x + 25 = x^2 - 5x - 5x + 25
= x ( x - 5 ) -5 (x - 5)
= (x-5)(x-5)
OR
x^2 - 10x + 25 = (x-5)^2
= (x-5)(x-5)
